  • Provide exceptional customer service, with an exceptional smile.
  • Prevent theft, violence or infraction of rules and regulations
  • Monitor site visitors and perform ID checks in accordance with site policies and procedures
  • Respond professionally to site emergencies (alarms, medical emergencies, fires and other urgent matters)
  • Effectively communicate all suspicious activities, concerns, issues, and events to our dispatch team on behalf of the clients' assets
  • Prepare and maintain professional and effective reports regarding the activities, security violations, and hazardous occurrences on site
  • Along with your dedication to utilizing PPE, you regularly patrol the facility so that no potential conflict leaves your sight.

YOU’RE A GREAT FIT IF YOU:

  • Must have minimum 1-2 years of experience in security
  • Diploma in Justice studies/police foundations is considered an asset
  • Ability to obtain Security License for the province of Nova Scotia.
  • Valid Standard First Aid & CPR - Level C (from a CSA-approved vendor).
